| Castlebay |
| Gene Milford |
|
 |
 This fresh new setting of two traditional Scottish folk songs, Will Ye No Come Back Again and Keel Row, was written in honor of its namesake, the Scottish village Castlebay. Composer Gene Milford has crafted a well-scored offering for contest/festival performance that is reminiscent of English-style band pieces. After the striking opening, the piece moves to the more fiddle-like Keel Row in a lilting 6/8. All of the sections of the ensemble get to shine and the band will sound formidable with this piece. |

 You will hear elements of Irish and Scottish music in this magnetic new composition from composer Alan Silva.

| Fughetta |
Wilhelm Friedemann Bach,
arranged by Andrew Balent |
|
 |
 Taken from piano repertoire, arranger Andrew Balent uses his long career of experience to provide bands with an exceptional teaching piece. Fughetta acts as an introduction to the Baroque style, and also teaches young students how to play contrapuntal music, a difficult and important skill. This piece has great potential for inclusion on contest/festival required lists. |

| Ghost Dancing |
| Brant Karrick |
|
 |
 An excellent study and introduction to contemporary compositional techniques, Ghost Dancing will stimulate the students in their exploration of modern music. Some of the dissonances are biting, adding to the excitement of the piece. The contrasting lyrical middle section gives a release from the tension before leading back to the aggressive main theme. You might consider this for performance around Halloween! |

| Hiland (March) |
| Harold Bennett, arranged by Larry Clark |
 |
 The yearly release of a Larry Clark arrangement of a classic Harold Bennett (aka Henry Fillmore) young band march has become a tradition at Carl Fischer. These wonderfully tuneful marches are great choices for contest/festival and for teaching the standard American march form and style to your students. Larry has been a champion for getting young bands to play in this important style and has successfully brought us another lost gem by Henry Fillmore. |

| Japanese Pictures |
| Kevin Mixon |
|
 |
 Japanese Pictures draws inspiration from both traditional and modern Japanese music. The harmonies are western as suggested by the accompanying melodies, and the percussion is styled to give the sounds of a taiko drum ensemble. Young bands will find this piece intriguing and different. Use this work as part of your multi-cultural approach to teaching music appreciation. Also a good choice for contest or festival performance. |

This piece was written by composer Larry Clark to depict the majesty of mustang horses that roam free in the American West.

Followed by a lush and beautiful contrasting slow section, Mustangs – The Spirit of the West depicts the grace and power of these wonderful animals. This is a great choice for contest and festival performance for the young band. |

| The Voyage |
| George Sweet |
|
 |
 At first lush and mysterious, then light and uplifting, The Voyage begins. Newcomer George Sweet brings us some invigorating ideas and harmonic treatments, as well as shifting rhythmic feels from 4/4 to 3/4 time. There is some great interplay between various sections of the band that changes from light woodwind sounds to strong brass interjections. George is a composer to watch in the years to come. |
